Keep Files in Dropbox

Dropbox is a website that downloads and installs a web-enabled folder to the main folders in your account. Anything added to that folder will be backed-up to the cloud. If you have installed a Dropbox folder into 2 different computers and set them up with the same online account, anything put into one computer's folder is synchronized to the other computer's folder over the web as along as there is an Internet connection. If each teacher on a team or grade level sets up a Dropbox account and installs Dropbox, one member can create a shared folder in Dropbox folder and invite everyone on the team to access and add to its contents.
